In this video, I take my Sonex from Lilydale to Deniliquin for a quick flight. I make a detour along the way to do a bit of flying over Lake Eppalock. The arrival into Deniliquin was one of my best yet, but my radio work could have been better.
There are still a few engine niggles that I need to work out before the Sonex is the best it can be. I believe that the mixture is running rich so this will be the next thing that I address.

Ever figure out why you're getting vibration at full power climb? Could it be getting to lean ? Aeroinjector carb?

@efficientflying8209 11 месяцев назад

It's a Bing carb, and we're still troubleshooting but from my most recent testing, in cruise cyl 1-3 have EGTs around 550c and cyl 4 is about 500c. With a full power climb 1-3 stay pretty consistent and cyl 4 bogs down to the low 400s. Step one is a smaller main jet, then the trial and error will begin. Thanks for watching :)

@@efficientflying8209It's been a few months. Did you sort out the engine issue?

@efficientflying8209 2 месяца назад

Yes and no. It's definitely a result of airflow through the carb. New jets brought cruise EGTs up to about 600c which is still low but the plus and exhaust look good so I haven't changed it again recently. We have tweaked the position of the carb and have it where I can go WOT long enough to get off the ground and climbing, then I need to back off a little bit for a sustained climb. The cobra head with a vertical vane as offered by the Jabiru factory may help but I haven't pursued that yet.

Very nice Sonex. Are you the builder?

@efficientflying8209 4 месяца назад

No I'm not the builder, but I agree, the guy who built it did a great job

Hi what app are you using for navigation

@efficientflying8209 7 месяцев назад

It's called Ozrunways, it's an Australian centric EFB app. Foreflight and Garmin pilot don't work as nicely for VFR flying as the locally made products.
